Returning to the Settlement with another uprooted tree, I was surprised to find that the ground ahead was blanketed with lush green plant life. More specifically, crisp blue and white petalled flowers. Carefully setting down the tree, I walked closer for a better look. They appeared to be a type of swamp flower, but I honestly didn’t know much about botany besides the word and a few common medicinal plant...

Another Guzzard attempted a swooping dive on the squat stone marker that served as the Totem for the ongoing Conquest. Breathing heavily, I struck its engorged belly and disembowelled it with my machete. Ignoring the foul stench of its ruptured organs, I slammed my shield into a pair of Guzzards that had approached from the left flank while I was dispatching the first.

Arrows buzzed past my helmet and caught four ...

Afforded a rather impressive view of the surrounding area, especially now that I had removed all of the smaller trees, I nervously kept an eye out for signs of movement. Noticing a number of logs in the lake a fair distance away from our camp, I was not fooled by their innocuous appearance and quickly pointed them out to the others, “We have monsters approaching from across the lake,” I called out for Clarice�...

Continuing our travels across the arid scrubland, I wondered if helping Clarice secure her new mount was in fact a good idea. Putting aside the time and effort to recover its missing HP, Clarice had now begun taking Thunder Thighs out on ‘scouting’ missions. However, the stream of EXP notifications and the fact that we could still generally see what Clarice was up to, made it obvious that she was just riding a...

Every few minutes we would hear cries of pain and combat from somewhere out in the forest around us, but we didn’t stop to investigate. Instead, we would alter our course as best as we could approximate to avoid the source of the disturbances and keep hurrying onward.

Making decent time, we stopped for a very short break at the treeline bordering the base of the mountain. With Shady’s animal senses a...

Setting down the final piece of paper, I sighed and scratched my head. I had never been a particularly good artist, so I supposed it would have to do. I had spent the past six hours sketching visual references for human anatomy, mostly making basic copies of the illustrations of what I remembered from my textbooks.

Short of hunting down an Orc from the forest, which I was incredibly conflicted about doin...

Toofy saw me heading for the stairs and hurriedly caught up to me, scrambling up the blanket on my back and taking her seat on my shoulder. Still somewhat excited from playing, Toofy hadn’t seemed to notice my change in mood and was still grinning maniacally as she slowly began to calm down.

It wasn’t until we reached the room that Toofy’s expression turned serious, “Tim sad,” she observe...

Jacque grinned malevolently as she stalked towards the cowering Goblin chieftain, “This really is just bad luck on your part,” she chuckled, “I mean, I’d offer you the chance to live in exchange for the spear, but we both know that would be a blatant lie.”

The Goblin chieftain, Gobgob, voided his bladder in fear, too scared to even move.

“Still, the complications from killing you ...

I had a little less than three hours before the raid would begin. I hurried up the stairs to Nadine and Clarice’s room, shrugged off my pack and then pulled out the sewing kit. Hoping that Nadine would understand, I appropriated her bedroll and began visualising the outline of the necessary cuts I would soon make on the quilted fabric.

Encouraging Toofy to practice her counting song, I ...

Nadine was practically bouncing off the walls in excitement, and I couldn’t blame her. Field Surgeon seemed like an amazing Class. Granted, Nadine would still need protection from monsters, because it didn’t have any offensive Abilities, but I doubted she would have any shortage of volunteers. Not only could Nadine heal other people's injuries, but both herself and whatever party she was pa...

Latest chapter is up and Rewrites will be following shortly

Appologies for the somewhat later release this week. I got a bit distracted wrking on the rewrites and forgot to account for the proofreaders having their own lives xD

I spent longer proofreading it again myself, but I expect their will probably be a few errors. Once teh Proofreaders have a go at it, I'll swap the pdf and contents out.

I'll be uploading all the completed rewrite drafts in just a bit as well.

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 49 - Shock and awe - Part One

The birds-eye view afforded from the saddle on Ushu’s back made surveilling the fifth floor of the Mordran Labyrinth a straightforward affair. The terrain was hilly with small copse’ of trees, thready streams, and patches of hard exposed dirt.

According to the Guild’s records, three independent tribes of Variants claimed territories across the fifth floor. Two of the tribes had been on good terms and traded ...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 48 - A new world - Part Two

Sanctuary had changed. More heavily populated than when I had left it, the Daemons had taken it upon themselves to expand Sanctuary’s physical borders to accommodate the new arrivals and those who would follow in the coming days. Permanent dwellings that combined the natural aesthetics of the vegetation with stone and earth were far more common than not.

The Dwergi had made their own mark as well. Despite being fe...

As we cleared the foothills and reached the mountain, it actually started to get a little easier, for me at least. The steady incline meant I just had to lean forward.

Clarice was having a worse time of it though, apparently having spent most of her flagging energy to get even this far.

Thankfully, Jacque had stopped just a little further ahead.

As I caught up to her, I saw why Jacque ha...

Toofy was still napping peacefully when I noticed that Clarice and Nadine’s basic status information had suddenly appeared in the group status in my lower peripheral vision.

[ Clarice - HP: 14/29 - Normal ], [ Nadine - HP: 8/18 - Bloodied ]

I was pretty surprised. I wouldn't have blamed either of them for opting out as Jacque had done.

Becoming someone's Slave was a bi...

<Behind you>, the voice cut through my melancholy like a knife.

Looking around for who had spoken, I only saw the scheduled guards. Then I heard it. A quiet whimper from somewhere beside me. Turning slightly and looking down, I recognised the large leather pack Jacque had given me the day before. There was a folded card and leather pouch sitting on top of it as well. Just as I was wondering...

Nadine had quickly skimmed through the Monster Tamer book and read aloud the parts she thought I might find useful. Most notable were the detailed explanations of monster tier and rank progression. Basically, monsters would start at rank one and consume mana stones to increase in rank until eventually evolving and increasing to the next tier. The tier structures were roughly approximate to the floors o...

The OT rewrites

Just an update.

I think the rewrites are gong well so far. outside of the first chapter, the changes are quite minimal, mostly corrections in the use of tenses to be more consistant.

I just uploaded the first 8/38 a short while ago, so the improvement in consistancy should be self evident. I hope XD

Not every chapter is going to have new 'bonus' segments like I originally planned.  This is because I kind of forgot how some of the chapters have perspective shifts alrea...

Still carrying the sack, I slowly walked over to the clearing. As I drew closer, I could see that Jacque had been right, the adventurer the Goblins and Orc were using for bait was a young woman.

Seeing me approach, I saw recognition in the woman’s eyes but I didn't recognise her. I decided that she had probably seen me around town. She was trying to say something, but the gag in her mouth made ...

Despite waking up at the crack of dawn, I was in no rush. Checking underneath the bandages on Toofy’s arms, I was surprised to find that they had completely healed, leaving behind only a few small scars. The same was true of her face as well. The deep gash on the right side of her face was gone, replaced by a long discoloured scar. Nadine hadn’t been kidding. Toofy looked like she had made a full r...

Walking back to the inn, I stopped in my tracks as the familiar message appeared in front of my eyes and pain flared in my head. Involuntarily dropping Toofy’s new toilet seat by the front door, I staggered and braced against the wall to keep my balance.

[ Your master has given you a command. ]

“You have got to be joking?! She doesn't even have to be within earshot?!” I quickly made my way ...

Nadine and I quietly watched Toofy rip and tear her way through the remainder of what had been a rather large tray of sausages. Like a starved animal, Toofy barely spared the necessary time to breathe as she stuffed more sausage into her mouth.

“I am sorry for thinking that you weren’t feeding her,” Nadine apologised, “I did not think the group Synergy would be this bad...”

“Group Syn...

The innkeeper had left soap, but I wouldn't be able to use it for anything besides Toofy’s hair. She would need to wait for her next bath before her injuries were healed enough to handle soap without becoming aggravated. Besides, Toofy was barely tolerating the warm water as it was.

After Cleaning Toofy’s arms, I quickly scrubbed her back and shoulders before handing her the brush, “Alrigh...

There were only three adventurers in all, but they looked a great deal more capable than Nadine, Clarice and Emelia. For starters, all three of them were wearing matching chainmail armour and holding their weapons in a way that made it clear they knew how to use them. Only Clarice seemed capable of the latter.

“Don’t think you can hide it!” The tallest of the three adventurers growle...

Contrary to my expectations, hunting the Vrabbits was something of a misconception. Feeling a tug on my finger, I looked down and nearly fell over in shock. There was a large rabbit clamped down and hanging off of my index finger. I could feel it working its surprisingly powerful jaws as it tried to bite down harder.

Emelia wheeled about on the spot, as if she had eyes on the back of her head, �...

Waking with a start, I frantically began pawing at my face and chest. Expecting my hands to come away covered in blood, I was surprised when my hands came away clean instead. With deep heaving breaths, I took a handful of seconds to appreciate the fact that I was alive and seemed to be in good health.

The last thing I remembered was wrestling with someone who had broken into my house in the middl...

Now that Lash had someone she could train with, we took turns looking after the kids with Toofy. It wasn’t that we didn’t trust her, so much as Toofy had proven to be a soft touch and caved to the twins every whim.

With Nadine otherwise occupied supervising her students, and Fesk accompanying her as a bodyguard, it left a painfully small list of people Lash and I could trust around our kids. Clarice was fine wit...

Staring up at the ceiling, with Lash, Suzy and Pete cradled in my arms, I couldn’t help but second guess my decision to entrust the Artefacts to Gregory and the Regent Francis. Granted, I could snatch them back at any time regardless of the distance between us, so long as I had the mana. However, what worried me was the potential harm they could inflict with those weapons before I learned of it.

The boy, Percy, didn’t know anything. Or, more specifically, he didn’t realise that he knew something until Gregory was called upon to question him more thoroughly. The second round of questioning uncovered a single word that had been omitted for the first round of questioning because Percy wasn’t sure he had even heard it correctly. However, that one word made all the difference depending on the c...

Chapter is almost ready + other news.

Chapter 47 Part One is almost ready. just doing a final proofreading before uploading it.

Other news: Some of you might remember how I was talking about rewriting the earlier chapters to bring them up to standard and make them a bit more in line with the latest stuff. I am relatively close to finishing a pseudo prologue/first chapter that helps ease into the story better than the current first chapter.

So, the plan, basically, is to reformat the older chapters, restruc...
